A lovely parcel arrived today from Michael O'Mara books with Zeena Shah's beautiful new colouring book (available from June 9th) that I had the pleasure to help adapt the cover design into a papercut! Looking forward to a cup of Dorset tea and getting my Staedtler colouring pencils out!

About Me

I am a graphic designer with a passion for typography and a new found love for paper cutting. I have a BA(Hons) degree in Graphic Design and a member of the Internation Society of Typographic Designers and have gained over 12 years experience working in a busy design studio on the south coast of England, working with clients such as Virgin Media, Molson Coors and Hall & Woodhouse (Badge Ales). I discovered papercutting when I wanted to create a gift to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, from then on I was hooked! Each design is first hand drawn, and then interpreted on the computer. I hand cut each design from one piece of paper as well as digitally cutting. I now create paper cutting templates that can be purchased from my Etsy shop.
I live in the New Forest with my husband, Allan, daughter, Emilia and golden retriever, Poppy and of course Mouse (my companion since I was 6 months old).
